Flour-The inquiry was good and about the
usual number of sales are mentioned. The
larger exporters say they can sell all the
flour to go abroad on forward contracts they
care to book at present prices. The wheat is
moving slowly i'll the country and many of
the local millers are of the opinion that
stocks of new wheat will fall short of the de-
mand before the crop year ends. With this
in view they have confidence in the future
sales that run too far into the future before
being due. Local manufactures say they
have been especially favored in having old
wheat here TO carry them far into October
since the new crop was so late i'll getting
into shape.
Bran and shorts-Bran is sold ahead of the
production to such an extent that millers are
very stiff on sales for prompt delivery. Sales
ut S1C@10.50 was the rule oday. Shorts at
S1l@c12 with some choice held still above.
COrn-Quict and steody at 39@39l2c in car
coming in.
Oats0Remain dull owing to the recent very
full receipts. Nominally there is not much
alteration in prices they are held at. but in
order to effect sales large shading had to be
accepted to avoid accruing charges.
Barley-The barley market continues dull
with q light demand to-day and that for the
better lots only at 5O@52c.
Flaxseed-Sold at 99is@e@S1. Chicago
